Inmate Search
The New York State Department of Corrections website hosts an inmate search database where one can search for an inmate by department number or first/last name. Inmates’ holding facility is displayed in search results.
Sending a Mail
While mail is encouraged to keep inmates connected to loved ones, all incoming mail will be opened and inspected. The following items are prohibited to be mailed to inmates: money, cash, photocopied materials exceeding six pages, money orders, and contraband. In addition, pages should not be glued or taped together.
Rules on sending packages should be obtained from Downstate. General New York DOC guidelines allow packages to be sent if a return address is included. Weight limits, items that can be included, and frequency of packages should be checked with the institution.

Sending Money

The inmate’s name and DIN should be included. It is important to note that if an offender has outstanding fines or court fees, the funds may be applied to paying those.
Phone Calls
Inmates can make phone calls based on the institution’s specific rules. General New York DOC rules allow inmates to make collect calls between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. for a duration of thirty minutes.
Calls may be monitored. Those wishing to receive calls should make an account with Securus, the phone system.
Visiting Rules
Visitation is an encouraged privilege, as it can help offenders reintegrate into society better upon release from custody. In order to ensure that visiting is family-friendly and safe, there are rules for visitors and inmates to follow.

All adult visitors are required to present valid and current identification (driver’s license, non-driver photo ID, government-issued photo identification, armed services I.D., employment identification with photo).

Visitors entering the facility are subject to search, including a substance, strip, or personal item search. Additionally, visitors will pass through a metal detector and should refrain from wearing clothing containing medals (doing so will incur a more detail search).

Visitors cannot be barefoot and should refrain from wearing sheer or see-through garments, plunging necklines, bathing suits, shorts/skirts shorter than thigh length, and attire that depicts obscenities or profane language.
